Early today the kids were in the creek looking for rocks, bugs and such. Well Joshua pick picked up a thing which he though was a rock and our neighbor Mr. Dan said that it was a turtle. We were all shocked we did not know that animals lived in our creek!!!! After Mr. Dan brought it up to the bank of the creek we started looking at it. Mom said that it was a box turtle, it was a male and that it was about 13-14 years old!!! I used to have a box turtle when I was about 5 or 6. That is why we no so much about them. Anyways I had my turtle about and month and then let it go back it the woods were I found it. Well after we put it on the bank all the kids crowed around it a started looking at it. Mom said if they sat really still and were quite that the turtle might come out and crawl around!!! Well they acutely sat really still and the turtle came out and looked at them, all the kids were really happy and excided!! Well after all the kids got done looking at it. We got a box from Mrs. Cara and I put some dirt in the box, the kids found some bugs and Mom show them how to make a home for it. Then they decide to name it Oscar and no he is in our garage!!! Here are some pics!!
